Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Ground Turmeric
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Coriander
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 Teaspoon Cardamon
  • 1 Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 Teaspoon Fenugreek
  • 1 teaspoon Clove
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground black/white pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare all of your spices. It would be best to have them all homegrown and dry and grind by you. But if not, try to get the freshest ingredients and as bio-quality as possible.
  • Start with turmeric, which is one of the most important and gives you that beautiful color to the whole blend. Follow with garlic, ground cumin, and coriander.
  • Continue with ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, and fenugreek.
  • Finish up by adding clove, cinnamon, salt, and black and white pepper.
  • Using a spoon, mix all ingredients. Keep mixing until all of the spices blend into one another.

Notes

  • Quality - try to get the best and freshest quality spices for your mixture.
  • Turmeric - is one of the most important spices not only for its healthiness but the color a curry needs.
  • Additions - if you have any additional spice you like and prefer, such as red chili powder, yellow mustard powder, sambar powder, mango powder, bay leaf powder, and cayenne pepper, please add that in as well.
  • Spicy - you can control the heat of your curry powder by adding extra chili and cayenne.
